More Building Something Quotes

Who wants to become a writer? And why? Because it's the answer to everything. ... It's the streaming reason for living.

I don't get the jitters and I don't get nervous, because I build that comfort on set for myself.

I find ways to work around getting the jitters. — Logan Lerman

I was thrown into a community production of 'Bye Bye Birdie' or something when I was a kid.

During the course of that I fell in love with it, and I never really turned back. — Michael Stuhlbarg

Here's something else to think about: calling when you say you're going to is the very first brick in the house you are building of love and trust. If he can't lay this one stupid brick down, you ain't never gonna have a house baby, and it's cold outside. — Greg Behrendt
